#traditional magic
(from a seriously superstitious Chinese-Nicaraguan family)
- Eat 12 grapes at the stroke of midnight for 12 months of good luck.
- Throw bowls or buckets of water out of the house to get rid of the tears and troubles of the past year.
- To encourage travel, take your luggage for a run around the block or a few trips up and down your stairs. Be sure to pack for the kinds of trips you want to have.
- Eat long noodles for luck and longevity.
- Make as much noise as possible to ward off bad spirits/energy. The best way is to go outside and bang your pots and pans together and yell.
- Clean your house. If you don’t want to clean your whole house, just sweep everything out the front door. You’ll be cleansing your house of both dust and bad juju.
- Write a list of the things you want to forget from the past year and then burn it.
- And to tell the future you can crack an egg open into a glass of water. The whites and yolk will form an image of your future in the new year.

Contrasting Traditional versus Modern Views of Magic and Spirit Work
Before I begin, let me say that this is not a matter of which is better than the other. Each practitioner’s path is their own, and what path is most fitting is up to them based on their own lifestyle and obligations. Therefore, this post is written specifically for those who feel that their current path does not fit them, who seek to analyze their goals and what is wanted from magic. Please note…
